Profile in Baltimore
Jewish Times
This article, from a local Jewish newspaper, focuses on a
public art project I'm proposing for Baltimore—one of a series of
artist-designed crab sculptures to be placed around the city. The
title: "Oy Vay Reasoning." Review of "Look, Now Look All Around", Baltimore City PaperAn interview of me and my ideas about contemporary art i
From the article: "What Ms. Foer really wants to do is build
a crustacean. And wrap it in Chinese restaurant menus. And sprinkle it
with kosher salt.... In her mind, Chinese food has always been a symbol
of American Jewish ambivalence toward non-kosher food." Accordingly,
the crab will be holding a can of the titular spice mix—a many-layered
pun on "Old Bay Seasoning."

Mail Art: Walls, at West Virginia Wesleyan
College
My drawing, "Obstructed View,"
is featured in this online gallery of mail art. The postcard-sized
drawing is based on an earlier large-scale piece, itself inspired by a
dream in which I was wearing a burkah (the head covering Afghani women
are required to wear). I later tried on a burkah, and was moved by the
experience of having one's area of vision so restricted—the everyday
experience of many Afghani and other Moslem women.
Mail Art, at Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art
A collage of mine, featured in this show at the
museum's "virtual gallery," explores spiritual and mathematical
expressions of infinity. The Hebrew words "l'olam va'ed" ("forever and
ever") are part of the Shema, the most basic prayer in Judaism. The
mobius strip is a mathematical symbol for infinity. The text represents
mathematical proofs for the determing the existence of infinity.

One of my ketubot is featured on the cover of this book, from
Jewish Lights Books.
Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about
Infinity...
This site explains several ways to mathematically determine
the existence of infinity. Religion has been trying to do this for
thousands of years, of course. Much of my fine art work explores issues
of infinity from both scientific and religious perspectives.
